4.5 stars - Fantastic!!

A leap through time. A choice to make. A destiny to change.

Dismissed by her professors, ridiculed by her classmates, Serena
Metcalfe is determined to prove the existence of the Samu Aqaru, the powerful stone of the ancient pharaohs – even if
it means travelling through time. But her study of Egyptology did not prepare
her for the dangers and passions of the real
Egypt of 2361 BC. Crocodile attacks, kidnapping, betrayal, murder…and a pharaoh
who believes she is a goddess and wants her as his queen. But Serena isn’t
about to give herself to a king – not when finding the precious Stone could
mean saving the man she loves.

Irresistible playboy Shepseskaf, fated for an early death, and his loyal
yet ruthless cousin Pepisenkaura were once the closest of friends, but the
right to the throne of Egypt and their rivalry for Serena threaten to transform
them into bitter and eternal enemies. Only Serena knows the tragic destiny that
awaits, and only Serena can rewrite history…by following her heart.

Review:

I've always found anything to do with Egypt fascinating, so when I was given this book, I was pleased. The Scholar is a fascinating novel full of adventure and good clean romance! I was immediately hooked and found it to be a great read. The authors did a fantastic job with the writing of this book and all the history and the characters were interesting and charming.

I loved the characters, especially Rabu, lol. But, really, Serena was a great character and grew throughout the whole book. I thought that she was tremendously brave when finding herself in another place and in another time period. I know I would have freaked. Shepseskaf, or Shep, was a great guy as well and I really enjoyed learning about his character throughout the book. The relationship between the two was really great as well.

The history tied in with the story was interesting and really made you feel as if you were there. There was suspense and adventure and just a good mix for a very good book. I recommend this to anyone who is intrigued by anything having to do with Egypt. And if anyone just wants a perfectly good book to read, then try this one out! Clean romance, a good story, fantastic characters and set in a place of beauty and mystery!
